Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Pyle Pro speaker The loudspeaker is
designed to provide you years of high performance in any application that
you require. Please read this manual carefully to fully maximize the
performance of the speaker.
Maintenance and Safety
• Do not expose the speaker to moisture.
• Avoid hot and cold temperature extremes.
• Clean using a damp cloth. Make sure that no moisture contacts the
drivers.
• Do not attempt to service the unit. Refer service to a certified Pyle Pro
technician.
• This loudspeaker is capable of producing extremely high SPL levels.
Use earplugs when necessary.
Features
The PPHP series features high-level drivers
and rugged components and is designed for high-
performance applications.
The cabinet features heavy-duty molded
plastic construction that will stand up to years of
tour duty. It has integrated handles that add to its
portability.
The speaker is loaded with a premium Kapton
voice coil woofer and exhibit excellent bass
response. The compression driver provides warm
midrange reproduction and crystal clear highs.
The integrated passive crossover network is
assembled using quality components and efficiently
directs the frequencies to the proper drivers.

There is an integrated 35mm speaker stand
adapter on the bottom side of the cabinet. Use the
knob to secure the speaker to the stand.
Connections
Your PPHP1259 speaker has a speakon jack as well as a ¼” jack. The
jacks are wired in parallel, which allows you to daisy chain additional
speakers. Thus you can use one amplifier channel to power multiple
speakers.
Make certain that the wires you are using are at least 12 gauge
unshielded speaker cable (the lower the number, the thicker the wire). Do
not use shielded “instrument” cables.
Hooking speakers up in parallel decreases the overall
impedance, placing a greater load on the amplifier. Check your
amplifier’s specifications to ensure that you are not overloading
the channel.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE MORE THAN ONE JACK AS AN
AMPLIFIER INPUT. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE S PEAKER!
Amplifier Requirements
There are a couple of considerations to keep in mind when choosing
an amplifier to drive your PPHP1259. While it is true that an amplifier with
a higher power rating can damage the drivers, under-powering can be even
more dangerous. When an amplifier is overdriven and starts distorting, it
generates transient frequencies that are much louder than the program
material. These wayward frequencies could damage your speaker. A proper
match is an amplifier which could drive the speaker up to the cabinet’s RMS
rating, without exceeding the amplifier’s own RMS level.

Operation
When powering on your equipment, make sure the volume level on
the amplifier is turned all the way down. This is to avoid the “popping”
noise, which could damage your speaker.
The placement of speakers can be a bit tricky. Besides for the
practical considerations, there are acoustic issues as well. Avoid placing the
speaker in a corner, as this will cause the low frequencies to sound “muddy”.
Similarly, but to a lesser degree, placing the speaker directly against the wall
will exaggerate the low frequencies. You should therefore try to place your
speaker so that it is a few feet away from the wall.
High frequencies are unidirectional while low frequencies are omni
directional. Being that this is a full range enclosure, it is important that the
speaker be placed so that the high frequencies reach the intended listeners
properly. Make certain that no person or object could come to interrupt the
line-of-site between the loudspeaker and the audience.
When using more than one loudspeaker, you have to account for
phase alignment. When the speakers are close together this is not usually an
issue. However, when they are far apart, the sound from one speaker may
reach the ear a fraction of a second before the other. This will cause certain
frequencies to cancel out, resulting in a hollow sound. To avoid this, you
may have to use a delay processor to align the sound from the speakers.

Troubleshooting
No Sound:
Check connections
Try a different speaker cable
Check levels on amplifier
Confirm amplifier is getting a signal (check signal LED, or use
headphone output)
Intermittent Output:
Check connections
Try a different speaker cable
Weak Bass:
Check the polarity of the speaker connection. It may be reversed.
Listen with headphones to confirm the amplifier is being sent a good
signal.
Distorted Sound:
Check if the amplifier is overdriven. If it is, you will have to turn the
level down.
Make sure you are not exceeding the RMS rating of your speaker.
